UK Tough Alliance fans given a new chance

Modular will release the Swedish synth-poppers third album in September in the UK.

Swedish indie-synth sensation The Tough Alliance will finally get a UK release for their album A New Chance in September via Modular.

Anyone with an internet connection might already have it downloaded to their iPod, but now locals can get their hands on an inexpensive domestic copy of the Swedes debut eight track-strong salvo. The duo of Henning Fürst and Eric Berglund come from the same city as Balearic adherents Studio, but Gothenburg's college town vibe birthed a more upbeat pop-loving beast in The Tough Alliance. Theirs is a sound defined by youth, attitude, and hooks.
